Guilt of the first, 2nd, although only a profile, and almost of the 3rd. I walk and say, "Bow down to me!" actually. XD THen make 'em bow....XD

----------

-You try to communicate with your pets or any other animals. Bonus points if they bark/meow back. (GUILTY!)
-You try to communicate with the wind, trees, air, and sometiems with fire. (GUILTY!)
-You try to move things telepathically with your mind, and try to speak telepathically (GUILTY!)

* When working in a place that serves food, the thermometer you use to check if the food is hot enough reminds you of a dagger (guilty). Bonus points for stupidity if you mentioned this out loud to a supervisor (I plead the Fifth).
* When your boss says he's thinking about firing you, and you suggest settling the matter with broadswords at high noon, or a riddle contest (not guilty).
* You feel more at ease filling out your tax forms with a sword in hand (guilty). Talk about tax cuts.
* Your answer to any and every problem begins with turning into some kind of animal. (Guilty, almost)

When your characters make comments on your life (either positive, or negative) and you can't help but admit they're right.

You make a typo and get a name for a character and/or a city. (Guilty)
You get weird looks in the grocery store because you are swinging a big serving spoon, trying to figure out if it would make a good spear launcher. Bonus points if you didn't get weird looks because the only other person in the aisle knows you and is used to that sort of thing by now. (Guilty)

I've got a new one!

~ You speak like this: "Why do you propose situations of the like appear to seem unsolvable?"

I was talking like that to my younger brother in Subway today. I was saying random things like, "Why do you propose that onions are categorized in the vegetable bloodline? Can they not see that onions and things of the like can be eaten as simply as a bite out of the hand?" and he was looking at me weird, along with some girl in line xDD

Sorry, just couldn't resist posting this one!

You know you're writing a fantasy when...

~You post in this topic.
~Many of your characters help solve your problems in life. (Bonus Points if they actually help)
~You take fencing in order to compete in a duel.
~You fight with plastic lightsabers in order to experience the jist of sword-fighting. (Bonus Points if you win)

Guilty of something like that last one. My brother refuses to fight me with toy lightsabers anymore because it's too hazardous for the lightsabers. No lie.

Lol. I can picture the poor lightsabers in my mind.

You know you're writing a fantasy when....

~You hope to have super powers, and often try and see if you do.
~You aren't afraid to let your love of fantasy be known to others. (Bonus Points if they share the same love)

So very guilty xD

~ You grow so attached to one of your characters, you try to write them into the winning side so they don't die. (guilty)
~ You get writer's block so you ask someone for ideas, but you think none of their ideas are worthy for your masterpiece.
~ When someone asks you to look at something, you do it dramatically, imitating one of your characters in a death scene. (guilty)
~ Something happens, anything at all, and you mentally say, "Wow! With a little tweaking, that would fit perfectly into this scene to lead to the next!" (guilty)

Guilty of the first, sometimes. At other times, I kill them just to make readers tear up...

I'm also guilty of the thrid and fourth.

You find yourself wondering if a one-horned dragon should be able to heal like a unicorn, or whther it matters if a unicorn is shaped like a horse, an ox, or a goat.

You leave an open fantasy book under your window so if a character from that book sees it, they will hopefully think about taking you with them.

Best way to sum it up is well fantasy is purely your creation, there is no genre that is more original and more you then fantasy so when you write in a twisted reflection of yourself your writing fantasy^^

Ecliptica --> Nice summary, but this is really a just for fun topic, not a philosophical one. Still, good summary of what it is to write fantasy.

You know you're writing fantasy when, in struggling with a stubborn lock or door, you find yourself uttering a locking/unlocking spell or magical password from a book (guilty).
